A test manager often relies on experience with similar projects to foresee risks related to technical complexity, domain challenges, or previous defects.
Other options listed are less effective for comprehensive risk identification.
Evaluation of Options:
A(Lines of code) andB(Function points) are quantitative measures, not directly tied to risk identification.
Cis correct as past experience is crucial for identifying risks early.
D(Record/playback tools) is irrelevant to risk analysis.
References and Syllabus Alignment:
Risk identification techniques are discussed under "Risk Management" (TM-1.3.1).
Question 2
Which of the following is required to apply an experience-based testing approach''
Options:
A.
Detailed requirements
B.
Usage models
C.
Tester knowledge of the system and its usage
D.
A full risk-assessment to support risk prioritization
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Experience-Based Testing:
This testing approach relies on the testers' knowledge, experience, and intuition about the system and its usage rather than formal requirements or models.
It is often used when documentation is incomplete or time constraints limit more structured approaches.
Evaluation of Options:
A(Detailed requirements) andB(Usage models) are associated with structured testing techniques.
Cis correct as experience-based testing depends on the testers' understanding of the system.
D(Full risk assessment) supports risk-based testing, not experience-based testing.
References and Syllabus Alignment:
Experience-based testing is detailed under "Test Techniques" (TM-1.4.1) in the ISTQB syllabus.
Question 3
Which of the following Is a way in which risk analysis drives testanalysis?
Options:
A.
It determines which tests should be executed first
B.
It guides the selection of test conditions that must be covered by testing
C.
It influences the type of reporting that will be used during execution
D.
it drives root cause analysis for any defects found
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Role of Risk Analysis in Test Analysis:
Risk analysis identifies areas with the highest likelihood and impact of failure, enabling the test team to focus on critical functionalities.
It is used to determine test conditions that must be addressed to mitigate risks effectively.
Evaluation of Options:
Ais incorrect as determining test execution order happens during test execution, not analysis.
Bis correct because selecting test conditions is part of test analysis influenced by risk levels.
Crelates to reporting and is unrelated to test analysis.
Dpertains to defect management, not test analysis.
References and Syllabus Alignment:
This aligns with risk-based testing as described in "Risk Analysis and Risk-Based Testing" (TM-1.3.1).
